CULTIVATE P if BUG SPIRIT.
Human nature is much the
4ame throughout the world, it is
said. The human race is naturally
fndolent and many other undesir
able qualities are inherent in its
organization, but these qualities
Are modified in various degrees,
6y cultivation and training. So
ciety is improved as -its natural
tendencies are checked and divert
ed into artificial channels. Hu man
nature impels us to allow as many
of the burdens of society as pos
sible to rest upon the shoulder of
others, but necessity has induced
many of us to control or cultivate
our inclinations so many of us
as are required for tha mainten
ance of society, the elevation of
which depends upon the notions of
its members' as to what is neces
sary. A higher state of society
may be desirable, but it is too
often not regarded as worth the
effort necessary to obtain it, the
more advanced state being left to
the provision of "Providence."
the benefits of Providence are
received in the beginning. It did
a good part by that section of
country now known as Oregon. It
allotted to us with such a lavish
hand that the burdens of society
have rested lightly upon all. The
inhabitants have been permitted, to
a great degree, to indulge their in
dolent human nature, and thus
came to believe that Providence
is tfie father of all blessings.
But practical men do not ex
pect great things from Providence
in the affairs of life. Although it
gave the people of Oregon a great
most of our opportunities. If we
prize an advanced state of society
we should cultivate those qualities
by which we may obtain it. One
individual with unequal advant
ages, rises above another by the
restraint of and cultivation of his
nature, and the same is true of
Communities. With the natural
Advantages which has been bestow
ed upon Oregon, it should become
the greatest state in the Union.
As a community of this great
state, Corvallis and Benton county
is putting forth a commendable
effort to elevate Oregon to the po
sition to which she is entitled, but
Still there remains a great amount
of apathy concerning public mat
ters of importance. There exists
eonsiderable selfishness which re
quires eradication. The cultiva
tion of public spirit is what we
require. '
The vitalizing influence of elec
tricity is said to be very great. It
has. been known to create the ap
pearance of life in a corpse which
was unquestionably dead, and the
Gazette desires to be permitted to
suggest that a wire of the electric
light company be attached to the
dormant corpus of the Corvallis
board of trade. - Should it pro
duce the appearance of vitality,
the effort were well made.
The war cloud is again hanging
li'eavily over the European powers.
It looks as though France and
Russia were about to "double
teams" on Germany, but an out
break by any of the great powers
would probably involve almost ail
the nations of Europe. I
If Corvallis is to observe the an
niversary of the declaration of in
dependence,' it is time that we be
gin to arrange for it. We want at
least to make up our minds
whether we shall celebrate or not.
The city election is approaching,
and the unprogressive element
should not be permitted to prevail.
We could do worse than to sustain
the spirit which predominates in
.the present city council. ,
OREGON AND THE WORLD'S FAIR.
The committee of the State
Board of Agriculture, consisting
of J.'T. Appersoiu VanB. Delash
muU, D. S. It Buick and W. F.
Matlock, have issued the following
which is self-explanatory: .
We the undersigned, a special
committee appointed by the State
Board of Agriculture to prepare
and issue a call, - whereby at an
early day we could secure, if pos
sible, tii3 co-operation of all the
people in having Oregon's ma
terial interests properly represent
ed at the World's Columbian Ex
position to be held at Chicago in
1893, and believing it to be im
portant that Oregon should take
some action wherein we could
unite and secure necessary means
to furnish and plan, whereby said
exhibit could be made creditable
to the state, we respectfully re
quest the county courts of the re
spective counties of this state to
designate and secure, if possible,
the attendance of one or more
delegates to represent said county
at a meeting to be held at the
Chamber of Commerce in the city
of Portland, on June 16th, at 11
o'clock a. m., no county being en
titled to more than five delegates.
We would most earnestly urge
upon the boards of trade in each
county and all good citizens to co
operate with and act in conjunc
tion with each other in securing the
proper representation to attend
said meeting, so that each section
of the state may assist in determ
ining the best means to secure the
object and purpose of thi3 call.
We are of the opinion that this is
a matter of vast importance to all
classes of our population and we
feel assured that if we can secure
a meeting of the representative
men of each county in the state
that they will be able to agree np-
on some method whereupon the
people of the state can unite for
accomplishment of the object and
purpose of this call. It remains
for your representatives when as
sembled to determine the cost of,
and manner of accomplishing the
great object in view, and we con
fidently expect the co-operation
and assistance of every citizen of
the state, including the public
press.
The people of Oregon must
move in this matter if they wish
to keep pace with the procession
of other Pacific coast states.
It is expected that the New Or
leans grand jury will in a few
days report on the lynching. A
certain confession will be used by
the grand jurv. It is that of a man
named Politz, who claims to have
joined the Mafia under the im
pression that it was a benovolent
societv, and who was present at
the time the death of Chief Ilen-
nessy wa3 planned. This confes
sion has not hitherto been used be
cause the state believed that it
had direct proof of Politz's pres
ence at the killing. Politz claims
to have learned the particulars of
the killing of Hennessy from one
of those who took part in the
mu rder.
Ex Governor Waterman, of
California, died at San Diego on
the 12th inst. He first came to
California in 1856. In 1886 he re
ceived the republican nomination
for lieutenant governor and was
the only one of his ticket elected
that year. Washington Bartlett,
the democratic governor, died
shortly after his election and Wa
terman became governor.
Italy, like other countries, sus-
t lins a number of political partier,
and, like other political parties
what one wishes another depre
cates. Hence the action of the
administration in recalling Minis
ter Fava is deplored' by a large
proportion of Italy's population.
General F. J. Spinola died in
Washington on Tuesday morning.
He served through the war as a
brigadier-general of volunteers.
Afterward he served a number of
terms as a democratic congress
man from New York. .
THE WAR IN CHILI.
The constitution of the republic
of Chili had endured since 1833
Not long since a dispute, relative
to certain acts or powers, arose be
tween the president, Balmaceda,
and that branch of the govern
ment which neaaly corresponds
with our senate and house of rep
resentatives. The result of the
disagreement is a civil war. The
president has discarded the consti
tution and made himself dictator,
although the adherents of the sen
ate and house are termed the revo
lutionists. The people, for the
most part, and a contingent of the
navy adhere to the congress, but
the army of perhaps 10,000 are
mostly with the president.
The New York World's special
correspondent at Buenos Ayres
says: "The revolution in Chili now
amounts to a civil war. Rapine,
violence, confiscations, arbitrary
arrests, complete overturning of
the laws, treachery, and everything
else almost that is bad, prevail.
Trade is nearly at a standstill, and
the supreme court and court of ap
peals are closed, as the judges found
themselves without authority.
President Balmaceda has assumed
functions which the czar of Russia
would hesitate to grasp. The ac
tual situation, from a purely mili
tary standpoint, is difficult to com
prehend. Not a word of reliable,
news comes by trans-Andine tele
graph. The mails afford scanty
protection for correspondents, and
and the censorship over the press
precludes a truthful presentment
of the news. Pizagua is in a de
plorable condition. Everybody
who could has left, and the hills
in. the rear of the town are cover
ed with dead bodies, which vul
tures devour. " Horrible tales of
cruelty are related. Prisoners are
taken by either side, the adherents
of Balmaceda, or the sympathizer
with the congress, and are bayon
eted or shot without mercy.- The
soldiers slay their officers if they
differ from them. The officers of
the Reugo battalion, at Tarapaca,
were killed by their men, while
the officers of the Fourth battalion
(Balmacedists) were also shot, be
cause they attempted to restrain
their soldiers from pronouncing for
the revolution. Revolutionists
have thus far won most of the
skirmishes and battles that have
occurred. Balmaceda has i;o
funds legitimately acquired, and
he confiscates the property on all
who do not support him. He call
ed on the banks for 11,000,000.
The managers ref used and were at
once thrown into prison."
A correspondent at Lima writes
that 400 refugees, who arrived on
the last steamer, were so destitute
they had to remain on the wharf.
The commandant at Iquique was
selling flour at 22 cents per pound.
Fighting between the government
forces and rebels near Iquique re
sulted in a victory for the latter.
About 700 men in all were killed.
A Lima paper published a mes
sage from Iquique, received by the
English minister, saying the tri
umph of the rebels March 7 was
decisive, and Balmaceda's troops
were knocked to pieces. Thous
ands of people have abandoned
the nitrate worlds, and accompa
nied by their families, are trudging
across the desert to Iquique. The
scene is of a nature which hardly
finds an equal in the history of
war. Many died on the desert
and their bones marked for many
days the road to the now abandon
ed nitrate factories. The Chilian
ministers to Argentine Republic
and France have been declared
traitors by President Balmaceda.
The inventor of the Gatling gun
d -earns of putting an end to wars
b making battles fatal to all who
take part in them. Possibly there
may be some more effective way
of stopping a fight than killing off
the combatants, but it has not
o jcurred to anyone to publish it if
he thought so. Ex.

A NSW TREASURER.
A Washington, D. C, dispatch
of the 13th says: The president
this afternoon appointed Enos H.
Nebecker, of Indiana, U. S. treas
urer as Jsuccessor to "J. N. Huston,
of Indiana, resigned. Mr. Huston's
resignation will take effect upon
the qualification of his successor.
Mr. Nebecker left for Indiana on
the 3:30 train this afternoon. It
will be about ten days before he
qualifies. He will have to give a
bondot $150,000 upon taking the
oath of office and again when he
is confirmed by the senate he will
have to give a new bond for a like
amount. When he assumes charge
of the office, all the money in the
United States treasury will have
to be counted. A committee con
sisting of three persons, one repre
senting the outgoing treasurer, one
representing the incoming treasur
er and one representing tha secre
tary of the treasury, will be ap
pointed to superintend the count
of the money. This committee
will be assisted by about fifty
clerks in counting the currency,
bonds and securities. It will take
this force about three weeks to
ount the currency, etc. After
the currency is counted the heavy
work begins, that of weighing the
coin. This is done by the commit
tee with the help of about twelve
laborers, who place the coin, which
is in great bags, upon the scales.
It will take about two months to
complete this "work. There are
now 4500 ions weight of coin in
the treasury to be counted. Ap
proximately, there are now in the
vaults $691,370,000. Until the
count is complete and the money
found correct the bond of Tieas
urer Huston is not released.

MORTAR-SPOTTED SKIN.
Covered with Scales. Awful Spec
tacle. Cured in Five Weeks by
- the Cuticura Remedies.
About the 1st of April last I noticed some red.pim
ples like cming out all over my body but thought
nothing of it until some time later on, when it began
to look like spots of mortar spotted on, and which
came off in layers accompanied with itching. I
would scratch every night until 1 was raw, then the
next night the scales being
formed meanwhile were scratch
ed off strain. In vain did I con
sult all the doctors in the county
but without aid. After giving
up all hopes of recovery. 1 hap
pened to see an advertisement
in the newspaper about your
Cuticura Remkdies, and pur
chased thein from my druggist,
and obtained almost immediate
relief. I began to notice that
the scaly eruptions gradually
dropped off and disappeared one
by one, until I had been fully
cured. I had the disease thir
teen months before I began taking the Rsmedikb, and
in four r five weeks was entirely cured. My disease
, as eczema and psoriasis. I know of a great many
who have taken the Rexkkikh. and thank me for the
knowledge of them, especially mothers who have
ba'bies with scaly eruptions on their heads and
bodies. 1 cannot express ray thanks to you. My
body was covered with scales, and I was an awful
spectacle to behold. Now niv skin is as clear as a
baby's. GEO COTIiY, Merrill, Wis.
